Handwriting and Shape Recognition - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just received my Note 10.1 and am loving it. The only question I have is the handwriting and shape recognition. I have opened S Note and for some reason I cannot see it anywhere. Can anybody help?

In the S Note app in the upper left hand corner inbetween the pen icon and the Text Icon is a another box. Press and hold down o that icon with finger or pen for a few seconds and a productivity toolbar will appear and you can choose between Formula, Shapes and Handwriting recognition. Hope this helps.

Any of you guys noticed that when the pen thickness is very tiny and I draw a circle, it fills it? Everytime I draw a circle, it fills it black but when I make the pen thicker, it works fine.

Yeah that's quite weird. If you move it to the next lowest thickness it doesn't do it. And it doesn't do it for other shapes.

Time for an update.

Is anyone able to enter a simple sentence without it popping into text half way through. I can't stand the fact I can't delay 'recognition' until I enter punctuation. Is there anyway to modify this behavior?

[Q] [Q?] CHT Softkey Bar problem...

Ive been pulling my hair out over this for about 6 hours.
I cannot get my CHT softkey bar to line up properly with the screen. I attached a couple of screens shots to show my problem EVERYTIME. The only time it went all the way down is when i stretched my image the whole 512x128.
What im trying to do is get the bottom edge of the graphic to line up perfectly with the bottom of the screen.
If anyone could show or explain to me how to accomplish this it would be greatly appreiciated.

Ok I have made quite a few Softbars now, so I might be able to help you
I uploaded i little pic with a previous work of mine.
There are 2 lines in it. The upper line (completely red) shows you what is the limit of what is displayed on the screen. Everything above this line will be displayed.
The space between the 2 lines is more or less not necessary
and everything you see below the lower line will be stretched to be the menu panel when the cht softbar slides up
It is however the case, that the part between two lines will fill the lower like 5 pixels of the screen so you want to adapt that to the rest of your softbar, so that it fits
But normally if the upper design reaches down to the upper line there shouldnt be any problem

Yes I thought that this might happen. That means, that you have to shrink the upper part a little and move it upwards.

Yes, as said above and in some instances, I have found it easiest, just to adjust the softkey height just slightly in CHTeditor.
Sometimes that seems to be another simple enough workaround.

Onscreen keyboard not moving

When I touch a text-field, the onscreen keyboard pops up, which is all fine and dandy, but the text-field doesn't move up and away so I can see what I'm typing. This problem is universal to all apps, so I know it's a system problem. Any ideas?
Either move the on-screen keyboard for input boxes near the bottom, or pin/dock it (which will re-size the app window and should bring the field into view or at least let you scroll to it)

Is there an easy way to mod the on screen keyboard on desktop mode so that it can be made smaller? The size it scales to when in portrait mode is more than big enough, pity it wouldn't stay that small on landscape, thanks.

This is for the desktop and not Metro? If so that's by design - unless you pin the keyboard it floats, and you move it out of the way...

It was for Metro. Somehow it fixed itself after a couple of hours...

[Q] App/Mod to lock the bottom system bar?

So my Asus has an option where you can lock the bottom bar so you don't accidentally open the setting menu or press back during games/movies.
I want something similar for my Note10 as when using S-note my palm sometimes sits on the bar and opens the menu which is very annoying! This isn't a palm detection issue within the S-note app it's just a general Android tablet issue.
Anyone got any ideas?
Acctually, when your s-pen is hovering on your screen, your screen is automatically locked from your hand touch
correct me if I'm wrong
Dam you're right. I guess the issue happens when I lift the pen too high and still lean on it. Might need to adjust my writing style.

You can use air view pointer as indicator is your pen too high or not..

You need to enable palm rejection in system setting, not s-note settings

I totally agree, mutlitasking bar and even more the Quikpanel popping out very very often are very very annoying.
Multitasking bar keeps coming even with no apps in it, what's the point of this bar anyway as you get a button that brings you all the openned apps at the bottom left of the screen.
But what bothers me most is the Quick Panel, drives me crazy !
Sure, there's palm rejection, but when thinking of what to write next, I don't think of keeping the pen close enough to the screen and bam the quikpanel pops up, hate it.
I love this tablet, it's fantastic, handwriting to text is amazing,
but why on earth did they put the quick panel on the bottom right right where 90% users put their writing hand,
Menues have allways been on the left in Windows, MacOs, in all softwares, why change ??!!
Can't it be deactivated ?
Lefties are lucky.

Thanks buddy, at least some one shares the same concern, I am surprised that no responses from the expert developers so far on this forum. I wish they can reach this to the Samsung guys......and before that help to come up with a work around.
Use GMD s-pen control. You can enable palm rejection from there.

Question Lenovo P11 tablet, cannot draw curved lines when starting to draw

Hello,
I've recently bought a Lenovo P11 tablet to take notes. When drawing with a pen, however, I have this problem (and I have verified it by enabling touch detector in developer options): when I lay the pen/finger on the screen, there is an area (I would say 2-3 cm) where the cursor doesn't move even if I move the pen. When I exit that area, a line gets drawn between where I started and where I arrived, but this is wrong as I may have drawn curves in the middle of the two.
This leads to two things:
* When I want to draw something rounded (like a "2"), the upper part gets drawn as a line unless I draw it very big.
* When I want to draw something small, only a dot gets drawn because I didn't leave the "area" and therefore didn't trigger the cursor.
Now I am pretty sure this is a software problem, as if it were a problem with the screen this wouldn't happen only at the start of the line.
Also, I'm sure this is not because of the application I'm using (OneNote), as I've tested with the developer options to show the cursor and in any place in the OS, when I start drawing, the cursor is stuck at where I've begun.
Anyone can help?
Thanks.
